"So President Obama has announced that the Internet should be regulated as a public utility. Hes asking the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reclassify internet service providers (ISPs) from information services under Title I as telecommunications providers under Title II regulatory guidelines. This is all being done in the name of Net Neutrality, keeping the Internet free and open, prohibiting fast lanes for certain services and sites, making sure no legal content is blocked, and all other horribles that
have failed to materialize in the absence of increased federal regulation."

President Obama urged the US government to adopt tighter regulations on broadband service in an effort to preserve "a free and open Internet."
"Free and open" is the exact opposite of what he wants, and "free and open" is the example opposite of what will result from "tighter regulations" on the Internet.
That's like saying you want to dump sand into a puddle to make it wetter and more liquid.

They want to turn it into a utility so they can tax usage. That’s a good way to limit blogs that oppose the government.

This isn’t about making the Internet accessible to everyone. THIS IS ABOUT CENSORING MATT DRUDGE and other links which EXPOSE THE DARK UNDERBELLY OF EVIL IN DC.

Declare it illegal for non-end-points to prioritize traffic based upon end-points and content. That'll make the Internet as neutral as it ever needs to be. Of course, that is not nearly what this administration (or many republicans, for that matter) would consider 'net neutrality'. They really just want to be "lobbied" for government sanctioned fast lanes and open content -- they feel the need to get their slice of the pie, ya know.

Regulation is a LIMITATION on freedom.
The very virtue of the Internet up to now has been its almost complete absence of regulation, at least here in the territory once known as “the United States of America”.
Many government entities have placed various degrees of limitation of either access or on content in relation to Internet exchanges. True, there is a lot of fraud and borderline illegal traffic, but there is already regulation against such flagrant abuse under existing law. Failure of the existing law, and not more new law which is also liable to failure, is the problem. Amend, clarify and enforce the existing law, and new laws should be altogether unnecessary.
